At start-up the BIOS identifies the components that require address space. The BIOS dynamically calculates the amount of reserved address space required. It then subtracts the reserved address space from 4 GB to determine the amount of usable space.

If the total installed computer memory is less than the usable space, all installed computer memory is available for use only by the operating system.

If the total installed computer memory is equal to or greater than the usable address space, a small portion of installed memory is available for use by the operating system.
